Subconscious anorexia or potential medical issue?

I barely changed my eating habits at first but I’ve been eating less and less over time without realizing. I don’t feel hungry most of the time.

I barely changed my eating habits at first but I’ve been eating less and less over time without realizing. I don’t feel hungry most of the time. I could go days without eating, and then binge for a day. But I have lost 20 pounds in just a couple months from 150 pounds to 130 pounds. Some days my stomach hurts so bad to the point I would have to force myself to eat something. I feel tired and fatigued most of the time. My periods have been getting very light (tmi sorry) Sometimes i stand up and I cannot see for a few seconds and feel like I’m about to pass out. My bowel movements are veryyyy slow. I just don’t know if I should schedule a doctors appointment or just fix this by myself. I want to keep losing weight, but I also don’t want to feel lightheaded and dizzy most the time.

Best Answer: " Subconscious anorexia or potential medical issue?"

Not only is anorexia a subconscious issue, but it also poses over time, the potential for some very serious long term medical issues. Overall medical doctors are NOT going to be able to help with the subconscious or the mental issue. They'll be able to help with the physiological issues, that can come up. However the mental aspect will require the help of someone in the field of psychology, to help you work through that part.

The added information you gave, regarding the lighting of your period for some might be to much information. However it does definitely point to the developing of anorexia. The other symptoms only further help confirm you're developing anorexia. While Yahoo Answers is usually not the best place to start, some will care enough to answer and recommend as I am doing seeking help first in getting counseling, and second seeking help from a properly trained expert in the field of helping those with, or are developing anorexia.
